This looks like something that matches my subset of things I can do.

I already had some ideas about this, and already done an interface that
can display various test information on a same page.

http://php.magicaltux.net/browse/ (lots of memleaks reported on 5.3 &
HEAD, seems to be glibc-related and not real memleaks, and this is not
up-to-date as I didn't run the tests for a while and didn't automate it
because it takes a lot of cpu)

Of course we can also make something that looks like Google's waterfall,
but I don't find it to be really easy to read.

The good thing with the interface I made is the fact you can see the
status for all modules directly, eg:
http://php.magicaltux.net/browse/ext/

I could, instead of providing branch columns provide instead arch
columns, and let the user select what he want to see before accessing
the interface (ie. compare all arch on branch PHP_5_3).

Anyway that is just an idea, the good part is that most of the code has
been written, missing parts would be ability to remotely provide compile
results (ie. run tests from a different arch) and make code looks better
(I wrote this under influence of beer, the code is missing comments).

Would also need a deployment script as suggested by Scott that will
initialize a slave directly, saving the time required to install this on
xxxxxxx comptuers.


Best regards,
Mark Karpeles
